Elisha: God’s Prophet Lesson 6 "The Lepers and Hazeal: Do the Right Thing!"

  • Aug 16, 2025
  • 2 min read

  Ancient Samaria is under siege by the Syrians. The people are starving. King Jehoram of Israel is at his wit's end. Elisha? Patiently waiting on promised deliverance. There are so many lessons for us in this story! How about a few of these: If God can’t get our attention through blessing, maybe he will try through sending us discipline! Or how about this: God is fully capable of making our enemies disappear whenever he wants! Try another one: God works through those servants whom he can trust to “do the right thing!”


In this stunning conclusion to the siege in Samaria, there are so many hidden jewels! Look for them as you watch the video!  In this lesson, some of the characters “Do the right thing,” and some do not. Keep track of the characters and their actions. They are not so different from us!  Every day, God gives us  little “ tests” to allow us to demonstrate choosing to do the right thing, even when it is counterproductive or an unpopular thing to do.

Discussion Questions:  (choose a few)
  1. How did our characters in this story fare? Did they do the right thing? How about the lepers? King Jehoram? The gatekeeper? The Syrian Army? Hazael? 

  2. How about the prophet Elisha?  Does he always do the right thing? 

  3. Why did the siege go on as long as it did? 

  4. Have you ever had a prophetic word given to you? Have you ever delivered one to someone else?  

  5. What is your favorite part of this story? 

  6. .Why was King Jehoram angry with Elisha? With God? Have you ever been angry with God because of his timing in answering your prayer and then found out later that his timing had been perfect? 

  7. Why do you think God chose Hazael as the next King of Syria? 

  8. Jezebel is still alive and quiet working behind the scenes. How much influence do you think she might have had on her son at this point?

  9. What was the big miracle in the story of the siege? 

  10. God was trying to get the attention of his people through protecting them, and when that did not work, he allowed the siege. What works better for you? God’s supernatural protection, or God’s discipline through tough circumstances?

Closure: Make some “What Would Jesus Do?”  bracelets! Be sure to wear them this week! Close in prayer.

This lesson hit me right in the conscience! The four lepers are such an unexpectedly relatable group — outcasts, desperate, and yet they're the ones who choose to share rather than hoard. It reminds me that integrity isn't reserved for the polished or powerful; it often shows up in the most unlikely people during the most overwhelming moments. I think about this in my own daily pressures, especially during busy academic seasons when everything feels like a siege. Even the decision to genuinely seek help — like when a student says "I need someone to Write My Assignment For Me" through a trustworthy service rather than just copying someone's work — is itself a small act of doing the right…

What a beautifully layered lesson — the image of the lepers choosing to share their discovery rather than stay silent is such a powerful picture of conscience overriding self-interest. It made me think about how integrity shows up in the smallest, everyday moments, not just grand biblical ones. Even students face these quiet moral crossroads — like honestly seeking help when overwhelmed rather than taking shortcuts. Someone once asked me who invented school homework, and that conversation spiralled into a deeper discussion about why we learn, how we grow, and what it means to do right by ourselves academically. New Assignment Help UK is one resource students trust for genuine guidance in those pressured moments. Just like Elisha's faithful waiting,…

What a powerful lesson this is! The story of the lepers choosing to share the good news rather than hoard it for themselves really stuck with me — integrity shines brightest when no one is watching. It's a reminder that doing the right thing isn't always the easy thing, but it's always the meaningful thing. I think about this in everyday life too, especially during stressful seasons like exam time. As a student, I've learned that seeking genuine help — like turning to a reliable Assignment Help In UK service when deadlines pile up — is itself a form of integrity, choosing to manage responsibilities honestly rather than cutting corners. Just like Elisha patiently trusted God's timing, we too can…

Really insightful post thanks for sharing it! Reading through the story of Elisha and the four lepers made me pause and reflect on my own study habits. There are so many nights when I’m juggling readings, deadlines and just feeling drained, and I secretly think about how helpful an online class taking service could be to catch up and breathe a little. The idea of unexpected rescue, shared burden, and finding a path forward in your post really resonated.

This post is a great reminder that doing the right thing often means acting with integrity even when no one is watching. The story of the lepers choosing to share good news instead of keeping it for themselves shows how small decisions can create a larger impact, and it encourages us to think about how our choices affect others. In a similar way, sharing trustworthy health information through Open Access Medical Journals USA helps communities access knowledge that can guide better decisions. When more people can learn freely, everyone benefits from a more informed and compassionate society.
